로보로 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Great cafe in a good cycling area, with loads of outside space for big groups.

The roving bridge used to carry the driveway to Beam House, and was used by horses to cross over the canal to the towpath on the other side without unhitching. The bridge underwent restoration in 2000 by Lord Clinton.

The canal linked Torrington to the tidal lock at Rolle Quay, Landcross, and was used to transport lime from Wales. Construction of this 7 mile route started in 1823 and was officially opened in 1827. The path follows the route of the towpath used by horses, and runs from the Tarka Trail near Beam House to Reeds Field at the edge of Torrington Common.

Stunning views across the River Torridge. Fairly easy walking with many good paths. Plenty of civil war history to absorb, and why not try the Torrington 1646 tea rooms for refreshments. Close to the Tarka Trail, part of the old steam railway line and also Henry Williamson's Tarka the otter's trail. More excellent refreshments at the Puffing Billy cafe.

Spectacular views across the valley.

Lovely cafe in old station on the NCN27

Just south of the town on the edge of Torrington Common, there are glorious views across to the farmland near Taddiport. There are benches up here and a car park so it makes a great place to start and finish a run. Plus plenty of facilities in Great Torrington itself. If you're coming up from the river its a steep climb up but the views are worth it.

St Michael's is a Grade II-listed church that is steeped in history. The earliest record of a church on the site is 1259 and the oldest surviving parts of the building date to the 13th or 14th century. In February 1646, the bell tower was blown up during the Battle of Torrington in the First English Civil War. The Royalists, who held the town, had stored more than 80 barrels of gunpowder in the church. As the Roundheads captured the town, they shut prisoners in the church and the powder was unwittingly detonated, resulting in many deaths.
